1920’s crochet hat is gorgeous and the 1920’s was a time of transition and change. It was a beautiful time where hats like this  Crochet Black Dahlia were a must when appearing in public. I love to add vintage jewelry and other accessories and you can find a tutorial on how to do so here.

My pattern writing style has changed so much over the years. I didn’t realize how much until I opened this file. I did go through and brush the pattern up, but it still has the thumbprint from my early years of writing patterns. I hope you enjoy!

 Crochet hooks and Hat sizes for the Vintage

Gauge = (Cross Stitch and SC row pattern)

K hook – 3rows 7 hdc = 3”x 2”

J hook – 3 rows 7hdc= 2 1/1”x 2 1/2

Any “5” bulky weight yarn, I recommend Debra Norville’s Serenity Chunky or Red Heart Eclipse The yarn used in pic is Debra Norville’s Serenity Chunky; 109.0 yds./3.50 oz.; Berry Burst.
(Approx. 1 & ½ skeins)

You can also hold two strands of a “3” light or sport weight yarn, mixing two colors together can be very pretty and dramatic.
